For the man who’s got specifics “coming out of his eyeballs”, according to the linked story:

Dissing poor among high-flyin’ guys,
Romney stumbles, so then Ryan tries;
Makes it worse. Now 5 pints
Won’t convince me that Reince
Is preferred to my own lyin’ eyes.

I hate that the RNC chairman has a name that rhymes with almost nothing, but I love that the first line in his Wikipedia entry is currently “Mr. Priebus claims he has specifics coming out of his eyeballs! [2]”

“I think that we had a good week last week,” Priebus said on ABC’s This Week. “I think in retrospect, in that we were able to frame up the debate last week in the sense of what future do we want and do you want out there for your kids and grandkids, and clearly, things are not going well.”

I think that this violates at least two of the three canons of good spin doctoring.
1. It cannot be an outright lie. –Instant fail.
2. You have to be able to say it with a straight face. — Perhaps.
3. It should seem profound. — It doesn’t seem very profound, and what debate?
